You must prove that the abuser committed the act(s) of domestic violence, as defined by the law, which you alleged in your petition. You must also convince the judge that you need protection and the specific things you asked for in the order.
There are three types of orders of protection that can provide victims with legal protections to support their safetyemergency protective orders, temporary restraining orders, and permanent restraining orders.
What are the major differences between a restraining order and a protective order? Restraining orders are mostly used in civil cases to prevent someone from committing an action. Protective orders are used in criminal cases to protect someone from damage or harm from another person.
The petition must be filed in the county where the petitioner resides, where the alleged incident of domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault occurred or where the respondent may be served.
An order of protection is an order issued by a Missouri court pursuant to the Domestic Violence Act that restrains a person from abusing, stalking, sexually assaulting, or harassing another person. Unlike a restraining order, an order of protection carries criminal penalties for violation.

A Protection Order IS a Restraining Order. A Child Order of Protection IS a restraining order for your children. These terms are interchangeable, but in Missouri, we call them Protection Orders. And if you get one against you, there can be serious consequences.
